    Weight lost/gained this week: - .8
    Weight lost/gained this month: - .8

    Successes/struggles this week: Im almost down a pound! Small step in the right direction! I was better at logging everything I'm eating and being honest about it. I didn't get in as much exercise as I wanted, but I have no excuse!
    My goal is stay strong through the weekend and be more active and not pig out.
    Next week: 30 minutes of activity 5 days, incorporate lifting weights and continue logging every bite.

    Hope everyone has a successful 2nd week :)

    Weight lost/gained this month:- 0.6 lb
    Successes/struggles this week: Realizing that my activity level is “Sedentary” rather than “Lightly Active” which means that I won’t lose weight as quickly as I would like. Which I knew was true, but I was hoping that I could bend reality with my mighty brain.

    So happy for the results!! This is just week one and I am aware a lot of the loss is due to water. I reduced by sugar intake, no late night eating, tracked my calories and joined the challenge. Thank you everyone for the support!

    Successes/struggles this week:
    While I am happy I didn't gain, I'm so frustrated with myself. I log (or write down) my breakfast and lunch, then everything goes down hill. I stop weighing, and just eat without tracking anything. I also had a box of brownies. Yes, I ate the entire box. I'm going to try to stay on track this week, and get moving.

    Congratulations everyone on your successes so far!

    Only just saw this but hope it's ok to join in anyway. I've checked back in my Fitbit record to find my weight from the beginning of the month.

    Goal Weight (1st June): 12st 3lbs

    Weight lost/gained this week: 5.6lbs loss
    Weight lost/gained this month: 5.6lbs loss

    Successes/struggles this week: I've been off MFP and exercise for 6 weeks due to having some physio, but I had my last physio session yesterday and I re-started logging everything on 4th May. It's also the week after TOTM so a lot of the large drop in weight this week is due to water retention. Today's weight is also the lowest I've been for 7 years so I'm very pleased with that :smile:

    8th May: 129.0

    Weight lost/gained this week: 0.5 lbs
    Weight lost/gained this month: 0.5 lbs

    Successes this week: I went out drinking/dinner and ate my meal, came home, and did not eat anything else. Usually this is very hard for me to do because since I am out and about drinking, my mind then thinks its "okay" to eat whatever it wants all night.

    Struggles this week: This was my last week of graduate classes. I have been extremely fatigued the past few days and when that happens I look for food to keep me "awake" and my mind happy.

    Successes this week: I carried around a gallon jug of water with me every where so I wouldn't forget to drink water! It helped a lot!

    Struggles this week: I'm ovulating which makes me retain water now for the next 2 weeks until my cycle starts over. So I'm happy with .4 loss this week. :) Didn't get to walk as much as I usually do because I was stuck at the office.

    Successes/struggles this week:My baby has been sick, which made a bit dificult to go out and run, but i did, as planned. Only in less convenient hours and it has been hard. I broke the 55 kg wall!! I started to drink my coffee without sugar or sweeteners, some friends told me once you get used, you son´t like it sweet anymore. I´m still not there, though :(. I ve tried to swap my candy bars for dark chocolate, but found out (again) that i better don´t have more than a serving portion at home, and the good chocolate bars usually come in 100 g. Besides that i ve been quite moderate with sweets this week, except yesterday. I tend to binge when i spend too much time alone. Eat fast and a lot when the baby sleeps, because i don´t know if i would be able to do it later. I will try to be in company and do interesting things when my husband works. A 12 kg baby that still can´t walk is exhausting!
    Good luck everybody!
